I would highly recommend Barbara Gavin for all your pet sitting, house sitting and dog walking needs. Barbara has been house sitting and looking after my pets for many years, she is reliable and 100% trustworthy. She looks after all types of pets. My 90 pound Akita gets so excited when she hears her driving up the driveway. She just loves her. Dogs love her. She is top notch.

She does a very good job at dog walking, sitting, and house watching. We've had her for at least 10 years now and she is very reliable. She is also extremely trustworthy.

I've known Barbara for a number of years, she used to take care of my old dog that is deceased and she took care of my new puppy as well. She's an excellent dog walker and dog sitter. I would recommend her 100% to anyone.
